SPAIN. 
The hopes of the enemies of liberty 
being bafiled by the determination and 
wisdom of the patriots of Madrid, and 
by the energy of the patriotic com- 
manders in the provinces adjoining 
France, where a holy crusade had 
been engendered, the expectations of 
this malevolent party are now di- 
rected to the congress at Verona, one 
of whose measures is anticipated to 
consist of a confederate army, which 
is to march through France and enter 
Spain! Should-so mad an enterprize 
be undertaken, we foresee the bursting

flames and its light all over Europe. 
GREECE. 
We lament that we have this month 
no certain news to record of the fur- 
ther success of the Greeks. Late re- 
ports have indeed been most unfavour- 
able to their cause. Corinth has been 
retaken by the Turks, and the Greeks 
driven within the Morea; but the latest 
accounts ascribe new victories to the 
Greeks, and the abandonment of Co- 
rinth, of which, in our next, we hope 
to be able to detail the particulars.

CHRONOLOGY OF THE MONTH. 
UGUST 22.—The inhabitants of the 
£4 liberty of St. Andrew’s parish, Hol- 
born, met in the church for the purpose 
of resisting the claim to tithes, set up by 
the rector. Several able speeches were 
delivered, a committee formed, and sub- 
scriptions. entered into. The present 
rector derives from his office 2,000]. a 
year, and holds another living in the 
church; yet he is now bringing actions to 
enforce payment of 2s. and 9d. in the 
pound, upon that division of the parish 
which is within the liberties of the city 
of London, under an Act of Henry the 
Eighth. 
—24.—The premises of Mr. Stokes, 
calico-printer,in Grosvenor-market, Berke- 
ley-square, entirely consumed by fire. 
— 26.—The premises of Mr. Norden, 
slop-seller, and the adjoining house, in 
Upper East Smithfield, burnt down. 
Sept. 1.—The king arrived in town 
from Scotland. 
— 2.—A fire broke out in the house of 
a venetian blind-maker, in Old Round 
Court, Strand, which consumed that and 
the two adjoining houses. 
— 3—The extensive premises of 
Messrs, Luntley and Milner, wholesale 
druggists, in Bread-street-hill, partly de- 
stroyed by fire. 
— 12.—One of Carlile’s shopmen ar- 
rested at his shop in Water-lane, for sell- 
ing Palmer’s Principles of Nature. 
_ —16.—A Woolwich coach overturned 
in coming down the hill from the Green 
Man, at Blackheath; when only one, out 
of sixteen passengers, escaped without 
the loss of a limb, or a fracture. 
Same day.—A destructive fire broke 
ont in the floor-cloth manufactory of 
Messrs. Rolls and Goulston, in the Ber- 
mondsey road. The premises were en- 
tirely consumed, and, the flames spreading 
to an adjoining timber.yard, upwards of 
twenty houses were damaged. 
_ Monvuty Mac. No. 373. 
— 17.—The steam-engine of a glue- 
manufactory at Camberwell, on the banks 
of the Surrey canal, burst with a terrific 
explosion. The shock broke the windows 
in several of the adjoining houses; the 
whole north wing of the manufactory was 
blown down; five of the workmen re- 
ceived serious fractures, two were killed, 
and the top of the boiler was hurled one 
hundred and twenty feet into the air ! 
—19.—The half-yearly court of pro- 
prictors of the Bank of England was held 
this day, when the dividend of 5 per cent. 
for the half-year was voted. In answer 
to a question from the proprietor, the 
governor said, ‘‘ that as yet no plan had 
been devised likely to prevent for- 
gery!” 
The London-bridge water-works are 
pulling down on the Middlesex side, and 
the other works on the Southwark side 
are likewise to be removed. The Com- 
pany have disposed of their interest to the 
New River Company, which is actively 
employed in laying down pipes to serve 
the former Company’s connections. The 
whole of the houses on the Southwark 
side of the bridge, on the right-hand side 
of High-street, down to the ‘Town-hall, 
are to be entirely cleared away, if the new 
bridge should proceed. As it will be 
nearer to Southwark Bridge by a consi- 
derable distance, it will face part of Fish- 
mongers’ Hall, according to the present 
arrangement, in which case that must 
come down, with the whole of the build- 
ings contiguous to Fish-street-hill, so as 
nearly to forma straight line with Grace- 
church-street.
